Pinterest.. I'm addicted!! Follow me.. I think my name is Missbubbles205  (I can't get on it from work though. ( Boooo.. )

 

That is very true!.. Who did you do your website through?

 

I'm doing passport invites. ) I am still tweeking mine a good bit.. I just changed all the Bahamas stuff yesterday to Punta Cana.. It's nice having a resort that you have tons of amenities to mention. )  but we can't seem to find a logo or image we like for the front. :-/

 

Have you made a final decision on your resort and wedding date yet?

 

Okee ... I'm following you now.  You should be able to find me now!  

 

I'm using weddingwindow.  It was the best one I found.  We are paying for it though ... $60 or something for a year.  It was the most customizable and I really like it.  I will PM you the link!

 

I'm doing passport invites too, I used the template you sent me ... just changed the colours and information around!  Are you making your own design up?

 

We've decided in the Majestic Elegance ... YAY!!!!  Still deciding on the exact wedding date.  We will be there either May 5th-May 12th. Or April 21st - 28th.

That's a really good idea.. I have a wedding website that I have completed. Whatever questions I get I just place on the webpage so that people can see. The webpage is also helpful cause I don't have to pay for RSVP stamps, they can log on and RSVP on there. I really like your idea, I'm just not on facebook a lot. My job does not allow, also I get off of work and go back into another job of cooking, taking care of my new baby girl, and helping my other daughter with her homework... I got my website done on my maternity leave (thank GOD)

So far mine is a tad smaller than a regular sheet of paper, but I may shorten the book so it wont take up so much room since I plan to put one in each OOT bags.

 

I have been debating on doing a wedding website... I want to but then I don't.. I'm soo addicted to this site I don't think I could be addicted to another online project.

we are using our wedding website for rsvp's too! so much easier and why not save money on rsvp cards, postage, etc.  our std's are in print and we still haven't decided if we will send formal invites yet.  we just started putting all our travel info on our site and i was excited about the way our rsvp page came out... my fi is a graphic designer so he has been making the website based on what i tell him i want.. very time-consuming though!  anyways, we were able to put so much info on our rsvp page, i hope it works out the way i expect it to.... i put the link below

 You just answered my question in the PM.. ) But again I love your wedding site!!

 

Ahh okay. ) I can't wait to see yours ) Another copy project?  lol... jk.. I did my passport invites from scratch.. But I'm not having any luck with my own design.. I made one for my chapsticks and it was suprisingly cute for a 4am task. There a pic in my profile if you haven't seen in yet.. But it's not passport front cover eligable.

 

Aww... How Awesome!!!!  ) I noticed on your site you mentioned a Wednesday.. are you wanting a Wednesday on either date frames or any day?  We are getting married on a Wednesday. )

We are expected the guests to arrive on Tuesday, if not sooner. but we are gonna block 3 nights per my TA and they can get group rates for additional nights if they wish.

 Ahh.. that's a good idea!  I started making us a wedding website today. ) I didn't think about doing RSVP's through there.. But that is a great idea!.. My RSVP cards are one of my favorite DIYs I did.. So I'll still send them but if people want to rsvp via our site they can do that as well.

 

My work doesn't allow it either.. Im not on it near as much as I used to be. I'll have to find that forum again and post the link.. )

 

Aww.. how exciting!!!.. I can't wait to have children!.. Right now I'm working full time and going to college.. So I'm am more than certain you have way more on your hands than I do!.. That's awesome you got your site done while on ML!.. )

My Work in Progess.. Guest "Facebook".. Ignore my face.. My FI is def not my twink.. lol.. I just didn't have any other pics on my work computer..  They will printed on cardstock and probably be smaller and binded together rather than stapled.

Looks great!  Good thinking on the FAQ page.  I also like the little "events" you have planned.  I will have to think about something like that.  

 

I stayed at the Suites over Christmas with 15 members of my family.  Jamaica is great.  You are about 10 minutes away from the airport

[allieplask]

yeah?? that is so awesome to here! i hope it's great, i'm so excited! i've only been to negril in jamaica.. being close to the airport was really important to my FI - he hated the 1.5 hr drive from montage airport to negril.. thought it was way to far for our guests especially after a long flight!

Thanks for sharing your website, you and your Fi did a really great job.  Like PuntaBride, this is my major project for the month, so any insight that I can glean from you ladies is really helpful.

It's awesome having a May 2013 bride forum!! I'm loving it. We'll be getting married on Saturday, May 25th at the Grand Coral Beach Club in Playa del Carmen.

 

I've seen that some of you ladies already purchased wedding dresses!!! Way to go!! I haven't even went to look at them. I was waiting to go until September! Is that too late?
